It only took a gaggle of geese to slow things down along northbound I-405 this morning.
The Washington State Department of Transportation reports the geese were herded off the NE 124th Street on-ramp to I-405, but they quickly came back.
It took a minute or so, but a Good Samaritan managed to chase a family of geese off the NE 124th on-ramp to NB 405. pic.twitter.com/NMIkbd4QbF

The geese returned at 128th Street, traveling across six lanes and then getting a police escort.
The geese are back on NB 405, this time at 128th. They made it across six lanes somehow, now getting police escort. pic.twitter.com/fXoj3aaw4z

The geese were finally cleared to the median around 9:30 a.m.
How many people does it take to get geese across an interstate? Apparently 2 WSP troopers and an IRT. The geese have cleared to the median. pic.twitter.com/JMvREhEpVN
